Truth to tell I could argue for For a Dancer, Fountains of Sorrow, Before the Deluge or quite a number of others . It strikes me that where you have some great singer songwriters like Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Don Maclean, Cat Stevens Jim Croce, Bob Dylan etc., Jackson is a bit unrepresented. You have a few Jackson songs, but he has a great back catalogue. I guess many are basic chords so maybe where's the lesson benefit, but I think particularly for those of us who like the singer songwriter "style" (for want of a better description for a varied group of singers ) it's a combination of guitar and song and co-ordination, Jackson has a way of singing words and maybe throwing them out of the expected pattern. Then of course there's the embellishments running in and out of many tunes some steel guitar some violin, some piano some guitar including some wonderful stuff from David Lindley, but they all provide a basis for trying to weave those into guitar translations to support and expand the lesson,
